Summer solstice brings longest day in Qatar
Qatar's Calendar Authority announced that the sun will be directly perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer tomorrow, Sunday, at 11:27 AM Doha time, marking the astronomical beginning of summer. This results in the longest day and the shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of Earth's rotational axis by 23.5 degrees relative to the Sun, causing the sun to be directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer on this day. It affects the length of day and night in northern regions, including Qatar.
